The AK-12 (Russian: Avtomat Kalashnikova, 2012 – GRAU index 6P70) is a Russian gas-operated assault rifle chambered in 5.45×39mm, designed and manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izhmash), making it the fifth generation of Kalashnikov rifles.
Kalashnikov Concern also offers a variant of the AK-12 chambered in 7.62×39mm, designated as the AK-15 (GRAU index 6P71) due to the request of the Russian military. A variant chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO was later unveiled, designated as the AK-19 upon the request of international clients. Compact variants of the AK-12 and AK-15 are also under development, respectively the AK-12C and AK-15C, which features a shorter barrel. A battle rifle variant chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO was later developed, designated as the AK-308.
